I've had my car for nearly 6 months and it was bound to happen eventually...
...I have kerbed my alloys.
Well, the front left one to be precise. It's a 9" scratch along the rim. Not too deep, but deep enough that it won't polish out.
I spent a little time searching the net for DIY solutions and the suggestion is to use very fine wet & dry paper and lots of water and rub it out.
I have been unable, as of yet, to find anywhere near me to do it professionally.
Has anyone ever tried to remove scratches in this fashion? Is it worth paying someone else to do it? Any ideas how much it may be?
(The missus is soooo glad it was me that did it! )
